Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by marinating the chicken. Combine the 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, and 1 tsp dried oregano in a mixing bowl. Mix until the marinade is smooth and the herbs are distributed evenly.
2. 2.
   Place the 6 oz chicken breast in the bowl, ensuring it is completely covered by the marinade. Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors, or refrigerate overnight for deeper infusion.
3. 3.
   Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast. Sear it for 4-5 minutes on each side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. If it seems to brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly and cover the pan to ensure even cooking.
4. 4.
   While cooking, stir any remaining marinade in the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. This will also help flavor the chicken further.
5. 5.
   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes on a cutting board. This rest period ensures the juices are redistributed, leading to a more tender bite.
